2014 NBA Draft

[KingSpeed]

Just looking back, that draft was even better than expected. First and second round. Embiid, Nurkic, Capela, Jokic, Gary Harris, Randle, Gordon, Hood, Clarkson, Napier, and many other serviceable players that will get a second contract. Why didn't we have a pick that year?

Gerald Wallace trade. Originally (IIRC) the pick was supposed to be 2013, but it was lotto protected and we took CJ.

 

[Strenuus]

Because we knew we were getting nurk for cheap.

Didnt really remember that draft. Surprised nurkic went WAY before jokic.
